Plainridge Racecourse Race 5

1609m

Prize Money: $21,552

MAJOR BETTS (5) scored by 7 metres at this track over 1609m last start, the second win from his past three appearances. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. SWIFTY RUN (3) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 19 metres. Expecting a very good run. HEAD HONCHO (4) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can atone. BANG AH UEY (1) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Hollywood Skeeter at this track over 1609m in a STR ALL on September 29 at $3.10. Performed better the start before where he posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:53.20) beating Colt Bennett in STR ALL on September 21 at $1.10. Has the right credentials to take this out.
